Hey, everyone. I just launched a new series on my channel called "Champion Guides in 90 Seconds."
These videos are meant for summoners completely new to the champion or new to the league. I plan on this video being the first of many, so please give it a quick look and let me know if you would like to see more champion guides. Constructive feedback would be greatly valued and appreciated!
Thanks!

Geno MD2 votesHi there, just wanted to post a follow up here so that I could thank you again. I took your advice and invested in a pop filter for my mic.

Hey you know, you have the same name abbreviation that I use (gmd; what a coincidence). I stream art and have a Youtube channel as well. You can search me, my name is gmdVariety.
While I'm at it I suppose I'll check you out on Twitch as well. I'm liking the Youtube videos, though perhaps some people might find you are talking too fast for them. Of course, you are trying to fit everything in two minutes, so I understand that it's pretty difficult to slow down even a tiny bit.
Geno MD1 votesHey, thanks!
Wow, that is bizzare that we share the same channel abbreviation. I guess that means that we will have to stick together! I will definitely look you up on Youtube man. :)
Thanks again for the advice.

You disproportionately rely on your voice to communicate information. Not ideal for a visual medium. Use better pictures to communicate your message along with your voice.
Since you're doing a series, craft a window that showcases the items, SS, abilities to max. Re use this in a consistent location for each of your videos.
Edit: I rewatched, and I get what you are showing, but to a new player, use a grease pen to highlight what you want them to be looking for and intent. Otherwise, I appreciate the added resource you're providing.
Geno MD1 votesThank you very much for taking the time to write this. I appreciate your specific examples indicating areas of improvement. I will certainly take this information and look at improving things on my end with each new episode. You have given me a lot to think about. Thanks a lot!
Geno MD2 votesHey, I just wanted to show you what I have been working on. You should see a lot of your suggestions have been implemented in some fashion. It is still a work in progress, but I think it is a large improvement from my first guide.
Thanks again for your advice and let me know what you think.

ParinoidPanda1 votesMuch improved! Like, everything is better. I liked how you did the SS and items. When you talk about alternate items, maybe have a noticeably separate section to show alternate items/SS. But overall, very nice.
For the ability order, add some clairity as to which key-binding the ability is on. Just the icon alone is confusing as even I can't associate the ability with the icon.
A thought: dummy-proof (so to speak) this a little by giving (visually) an over-simplified explanation of what each spell is mainly used for in 3 words or less. Maybe as you're talking about each ability to create a simple picture of what to use the spell for.
Eg. Lissandra:
||| |- | Q =| Poke| |W =| AoE stun| |E =| control delayed teleport| |R =| 2.5 second enemy stun OR self-zhonyas|
One thing to keep in mind is that different people consume information differently.
Visual learners: Need to see the information that is being taught. Audio learners: Need to hear/speak the information that is being taught. Manual learners: Need to feel the information that is being taught.
So, to give a breakdown:
Talking about her Q covers it for audio learning. Great! Showing the ability on the screen in action covers the visual learners. Great! Showing/saying with emphasis what primary purpose the spell is used for would cover the Manual learners. You mostly do this, but I feel if you could put it on the screen briefly as I showed above, that would help solidify your message.
Geno MD1 votesThank you for the response! Again, you have given me a lot to think about. I see what you mean regarding the different ways that we learn. I will look at my method and see how I can improve upon it for the next guide.
Thanks again, ParinoidPanda. :)
You rock.
